I want to add my nickname on my lockscreen on ICS 4.0.4.
Is here any way to edit some file with file explorer and add some codes to add some text on lockscreen. I was searching one hour everywhere but nothing. I know about some app from market but I want something from system.
it's a builtin feature of Android 4.0.4 in Sony Xperia Phones,
just goto Setting-> Security-> Owner Info
and check on the "Show owner info on lock screen" and type your custom message for lock screen display
P.S, next time use Question Answer thread for questions ...

Hello.
I like the HTC home screen sliding panel, but some things I am missing and some things I dont need on it in the standard configuration which is delivered with the Rose.
I was missing:
- graphical notification of all sms, mms, missed calls, voice mails and emails like in the normal windows panel and working with these events from this row
I didnt need:
- sms/mms and email notification in separate rows (wasting of place)
- favourite homepages
- music player
All you need to do it, is to change one row in the HTCSlidingPanel.home.xml located in the folder AplicationData/Home/:
<Plugins Order="CClock;CHome;CWindowsLive;CAppointments;HTCWeather;Settings" CPRFileName="HTCSlidingPanel" SMSMMSOverride="false" EmailOverride="false" >
You wil find this row easy.
Beside this I removed the "background picture changing option" and the "ringing tones changing option" from the Setting row of the HTC home panel. I really dont need it so much, not necessary to be on the home screen.
You can do this by changing the registry in:
HKLM/Software/Microsoft/CHome/Settings/
Registry field called: Pages - simply delete the names of the pages you dont want to have in the Setting row on the homescreen (in my case the backgroud picture and ringing tones), it is very easy.
Hope this will help.
search icon ???
Dear members !
Does anybody know how to put search icon to desktop ? Like HTC-diamond or touch-pro has it ! One guy sad that edition for smartphone doesn't have it, but sorry, I am not happy with that answer?! If I demonstrate for example: I search aplication to search surname "Novak" client through outlook calendar and contacts and notes....and all other aplications which phone has! It would mean a lot to me!
Best regards, Dejan U.

Hey Guys/Gals
Im still getting into the whole fuss and fun of playing aorund with my ROM on my HD2 and recently upgraded to the newest version (Nov10->Feb11) and am not sure how to actually get some of the settings/display back to how it previously was (getting used to it and all )
I installed http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=5044378&postcount=2 on my HD2 and noticed the image on the far left (Lock screen) is how i remember it but for the life of my i cant seem to get it back to how it looked...
I have the left right scoll option but just cant seem to find the setting to push/change to get it back to how it once was
I know its a basic question and option but i liked the options of having all the call/sms history with the swipe down then password layout.
I noticed that there have been Scene updates over the 2010/2011 change and im starting to think its been changed over with them... Does anyone know of an history section mabey with the last/pre scene release?
Currently i have installed
Energy.Leo.21916.Sense2.5.Cookie.2.0.Feb.01.7z
Did you try and/or check all the options of CHT?
For the lockscreen, you have several options which you´ll find in CHTE.
If you´re not familiar with the great CHT solution and its editor, please check out the introduction in the original thread. All this is cooked into the ROM you´re using.
I was having a play around with it but before i flashed i was able to use the pin number option and still have the slide down to unlock...
hxxp://img211.imageshack.us/img211/5895/phonewa.jpg
This image shows the diffrences which are between the image and my phone with the rom...
THe more i look at it the more i think i wont be able to bring the settings back i think
The editor has 3 options and the one whihc looks the closest if the HD mini but still does not allow for pincodes so i read...
the lockscreen you are showing is the android lockscreen that is part of the rom. it is not the CHT lockscreen (though CHT has an android option as well.)
fyi, energy rom has 2 lockscreens - windows and android (part of all roms, whether CHT is present or not).
to use this make sure CHT lockscreen is disabled. then go to settings > other > change lockscreen. it will prompt you that it will soft reset and give you a message about what screen it will change to. i believe, as this is not CHT, you can use a pin code without a problem.
also, for future, this type of question would be best in the Energy rom thread - really people there would help you quite quickly.
cheers.

CHT is disabled and there is no "Other" option in the settings panel
I dont think it allowed me to post in there when i first tried but it seems to let me now :S
go to settings on the manila slider (not via the start menu).
then go to Other (miscellaneous). you will see change lock screen.
this is standard on energy roms (i have the same rom as you.)
and i forgot about the new user rules and posting; apologies.
Options i have is
AGPS Settings
Car Kit Mode
Start Menu Layout Switch
Format SD CArd
Device Info
Wide Device
Get Carrier Time
SMS Threading
Keylock Settings {Only allows me to set passwords and nothing else}
Uploader
Location Setting
Autodata COnfig
No lock screen settings
hmm. in the FAQ of the rom i see:
Q: How can I Revert back to Original WM LockScreen instead of the Android one?
A1: Start -> Settings -> Personal -> Switch Lockscreens.
does this work (it will switch between the 2)?
Fixed it !!! Needed 28244
Ok well i fixed it... (watched a youtube vid where they mentioned the bottom bottons showing onbly in 6.5.x not the std 6.5 and that lead me to the description stating the 6.5.x)
Seems the rom u have installed is 28244 were i had 21916...
Installed 28244 and it looks just like it did before lock screen and all eve the buttons on the bottom
So ill know now for future now which one to install
Its a shame its midnight now and i have to resetup my phone
All is well now..
Also i see our Lock Screen options now, using 28244
ya know, i saw that but thought his 6.5 roms had that option (never had used them though.) glad it is working.
and for next flash, look into xda_uc (i use xda_uc_net)...with CHTS...saves time and you are up and running in 20 minutes or so.
cheers.
First, sorry if this is in the wrong place, however, I remember having a custom ROM that you could draw shapes to unlock the phone, and also set custom shapes to unlock and open a certain app (i.e. messages, clock, or Facebook etc.).
I have totally forgotten what the ROM was, but was just wondering if anyone remembered?
Cheers
obviously wrong section....
should be available in every ROM built on CyanogenMod
...nevertheless go to Settings > CyanogenMod settings > Lockscreen gestures > ...
Hi all,
is it possible to display new whatsapp messages directly on lockscreen? (like on ios? Display lights up if new message comes in and i can read message directly on lockscreen, thats what I want.
Bought some apps but nothing works fine :-(
Sorry for my poor Englisch...
For directly showing message on lock screen it depends on the ROM I think.
Is there any rom for my desire hd available?
I am using virtous quattro with ics at the moment.
You need to post this there.. I don't have desire. So, can't say.
I think widget locker is what you need. I use handcent for sms, and it gets through the lockscreen just like you describe.
Sent from my DROID3 using XDA App
The lockscreen code is either part of the framework.jar or the systemui... and if the device is not rooted, you cannot change it.
If you are a programmer, what you could try is to create a new window (for example with the WindowManagerImpl hidden class) trying different window types: window types define the layer where the window will be placed. For some window types you might need some special permission (for example I think TYPE_SYSTEM_OVERLAY will be placed above lockscreen, and it needs the SYSTEM_DIALOG permission)
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks
Moving to Q&A
Currently there isn't an (lockscreen-)app that allows that. If you are a programmer you can always try to make it yourself, like mentioned above. But be warned, it's going to be a hell to create it
I´m not a Android programme
There is an option in the settings of whatsapp "turn on the pop up messages" check that box n u are good to go
i know this option, but it´s still behind the lockscreen...
Hey guys!!
This pop-up message, allows you to answer the message even with the lock screen. I think it's a lack of security because anyone can answer it if you forget your phone somewhere.
I've already try to talk with the developers of Whatsapp, but with no success.
On iphone you can only read and unlock to answer.
That's right, the popup feature when set to 'always' or 'only when screen off' shows messages and I think even allows replying from the lockscreen. You can't go view the full convo without unlocking though. This is the way it works at least in the latest beta from http://www.whatsapp.com/android/

Hey everyone. A few weeks ago I bought a xiaomi phone (Redmi Note 4) running MIUI 8.1.6.0. One of the first things that I wanted to enable was the hide sensitive notification on lockscreen. What I mean is that when the device is locked you get a notification on the lockscreen and it shows the content of the message. For example If I received a WhatsApp of my dad it would show Whatsapp from dad: Buy bread. What I wanted was to hide that it was my dad and the content, so it would show 1 new whatsapp message. For some reason you can't do this from MIUI settings, but after browsing the deep web I found a way to do this, and MIUI does have this feature but it is hidden. What I found is that If you download the app called Floatify and acces the help section and click on “Disable native android notifications on lockscreen“ it shows a MIUI menu that lets you choose beetween: Show all notification content, Hide sensitive notification content and Don't show notifications at all. This is what I was looking for. This keeps on working when you unistall floatify so it is a miui setting for sure. MY REQUEST IS: Could anyone please create a simple app or shortcut to acces this settings? I think it would be easy cause you would just have to see how floatify does it and copy it. This is a very requested feature on the MIUI forum but xiaomi just tells you to disable notifications themselves, so many people would be grateful. Thanks. Contact: [email protected]
Hello there!
You could try if the desired settings menu is in the list of shortcuts in the QuickShortcutMaker app found here:
>QuickShortcutMaker<
Alternatively you could also try the Hidden Settings app:
>HiddenSettings<
Good luck!

Hey thanks bro it actually works.
How to hide hide contents of locked apps only? There is a guide, http://c.mi.com/thread-170007-1-0.html?mobile=2 although why this option is not present in note 4 MIUI 8.2 I don't understand. Any help?
This is already available on Redmi note 4 (MIUI 8.2.10.0). Have you tried Settings>system & Device>Notification and status bar>App notifications>whatsapp and switch off lock screen notifications. There will be no need to download third party app.
This is a tutorial on how to do that
If anyone is still looking on how to do that, I just did a tutorial step-by-step on how to hide the notification's content. Here's the link en.miui.com/thread-913531-1-1.html

I am using MIUI version 8.5.4.0. To hide sensitive notification,
GoTo Settings -> LockScreen & Password -> Advanced Settings -> On the lock screen, Choose "Hide sensitive notification content"
Unfortunately I guess, this doesn't help in this case: https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-4/help/setting-hide-sensitive-notifications-t3684607

I had completely forgotten about that and since I upgraded it's been bugging me for weeks! Thank you!
Is there a way to show ONLY the sender for whatsapp notifications but not the content, like in the iphone 'hide sensitive info' option ?
The given options here work but I would like to know the sender for all messages to choose if I want to unlock the phone to see the message or not, depending on the sender.
1.Open settings
2.Open app lock
3.Open app lock setting(click on right corner icon)
4.Open hide content option
5. choose the apps
And enjoy
